The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain

Here is a lighthearted excursion into boyhood, a nostalgic return to the simple, rural Missouri world of Tom Sawyer and his friends Huck and Becky, and his Aunt Polly. It is a dreamlike world of summertime and hooky, pranks and punishments, villains and desperate adventure, seen through the eyes of a boy who might be the young Mark Twain himself.

There is sheer delight in "Tom Sawyer"--even at the darkest moments affection and wit permeate its pages. For adults it re-creates the vanished dreams of youth. For younger readers it unveils the boundaries of tantalizing horizons still to come. And for everyone, it reveals the mind and heart of one of America's greatly loved writers.

This certainly takes me back to my youth. I felt like I was right there with Tom, Jim and Becky with all that went on in this story when I was young.

I remember being frightened in some parts of the story. To refresh my memory, though, of which parts were the scary ones, I find that I must continue this read.

Thanks for taking me back to simpler times when life was fun and worries were of a less "evil" nature.

I bought a copy even tho I thought I already had one. I like this so much for the fact that it is funny! I love laughing at the antics of all of them, especially Tom. And, oh, his aunt...what a trooper she is to raise him and his brother, whew!
